If you are looking to share your company video, YouTube advert or documentary with an audience that doesn’t speak English, hiring a professional dubbing service for your audiovisual content might be the solution you’re looking for.
Our translation agency works closely with many experienced figures throughout the dubbing industry who can give your content the boost it deserves.
Dubbing opens the door to potentially millions of viewers
Subtitled video content on social media benefits from a considerably bigger audience than text-free video. The same goes for clips that are dubbed into the language of the target market.
Whether as an alternative to subtitles or in addition to them, dubbing audiovisual content is good publicity for you in your chosen language(s), whether it’s for your corporate video, your product advert or the classes on your YouTube channel.
In reality, using a professional dubbing service for your English-language video can put you in touch with literally millions of potential consumers.
Dubbing into French alone could allow you to reach France, Belgium, Switzerland, Senegal, Haiti, and Canada, among a great many others as well.
As you have put a lot of time and effort into producing a professional video, it makes sense to reach as big an audience as possible and more people will be able to understand it if it is accessible in one, or even two, other languages.
Latin America and China, for example, are major international markets – both home to a huge pool of buyers who will want to learn about your product in their own language.
Total professionalism with the best dubbing and voice-over actors
Our international network of linguists has grown and grown over the years to encompass a wide range of profiles, and many voice actors from a variety of backgrounds have swelled our ranks.
Consequently, we collaborate with voice actors offering voice-overs in Spanish, French, German and more besides, and with experience in adverts and TV channels.
Lip-syncing (matching lip movement to speech, as seen in many films and TV series) is one field that our voice actors excel in, giving you an unparalleled viewing experience.
Simple unsynchronised reading, as in a documentary with an off-screen narrator, is another option.
Our voice-over actors work with state-of-the-art recording equipment, which gives clean sound quality and polished delivery whatever the broadcast medium, from TV and Internet to cinema screen and auditorium.
Our translation agency guarantees professional dubbing artists in any language

With the rapid growth of social media, online platforms and e-commerce sites, it has never mattered more to get your message and content shared widely.
For example, the number of videos posted on a network like Facebook has exploded to the point that an estimated 100 million hours of video are consumed by internet users each day.
Companies that turn to these communication channels have seen their turnover skyrocket and their international customers grow in unexpected numbers. That’s where video subtitling comes in.
What can video subtitling offer your organisation?
Everyone agrees, your company video presentation was a roaring success, yet there have been no clicks.
Why could that be? Well, it’s worth bearing in mind that over 8 out of 10 videos online are watched with the sound off.
And this applies across social networks and broadcasting mediums.
Ads, trailers, excerpts of speeches and TV programmes are usually watched with the sound off, pushing more and more organisations to have their audiovisual content subtitled by an audiovisual translation agency.
The pros of English subtitles
With subtitles in English, you will be able to reach out to a new audience that, so far, has not been able to access your audiovisual content.
For example, once subtitled in English your video will be accessible to people who are deaf or hard of hearing, that’s 11 million people in the UK alone.
This method, known as closed captioning, is part of the inclusive communication philosophy that arrived with the early 21st century and allows a larger number of people to access information.
English subtitles on your video will broaden your field of activity and boost your message’s circulation both within your business, through meetings and presentations, and externally to social media users or as part of a client-canvassing strategy.
A recent study by Facebook showed that a subtitled video or short film received 10% more likes while its viewing time increased by 12% and shares by a massive 26%! Tempting, isn’t it?
Subtitling in other European languages – a door to more marketplaces
To go even further, and really connect with a huge international audience, many organisations make a habit of subtitling their video content such as their ads, marketing videos, company presentations, official communications and training videos.
Sharing communications of this type in multiple languages on their website or e-commerce platform is one of the best development strategies that internationally-minded companies can put in place.
Free of language restrictions, your company video can travel wide, from Brazil to France, passing through Japan and Spain en route.
It matters to put your trust in specialist audiovisual translators who know the rights and wrongs of subtitling like the back of their hand, whether that’s for films, short videos or even documentaries and educational films. Otherwise, the proof will be in the video.
These linguists are natives of the relevant countries, so they understand the linguistic uses and customs perfectly, and they alone will know how to reconvey your message in line with the many rules of professional subtitling, such as character limits, spotting and managing different types of files and colour codes in closed captions.
Trust us with your video content, and we would be delighted to get back to you with a prompt quote taking into account the film’s duration and your personal requirements.

Start-ups, small developing businesses, are continually on the rise and are producing fresh crops of young entrepreneurs.
Thanks to the growth of remote working and the ease of low-cost travel, small businesses are able to cross borders and trade internationally in order to achieve success.
Every business owner’s main aim is to increase their turnover. With a start-up business, there are many recommended ways to go about this.
In this article, we will go through the main components you should focus your resources on.
How to make a start-up business competitive
The business market changes quickly and, as an entrepreneur, it’s important to stay in tune with relevant new trends.
Keeping on top of new tools and methods of reaching your customers admittedly involves a time investment, but the financial return can be significant.
Harnessing the possibilities offered by different social media platforms could be key to your company’s success.
The international nature of the internet also allows businesses, with a little help from professional translation services, to connect with global audiences, thus expanding their earning potential.
This can be particularly beneficial to companies offering niche products or services that may struggle to find a sustainable market locally.
Do you know the value of outsourcing?
As small companies grow they inevitably need support in certain areas as the business can become too big for just one person, or even a small team, to manage alone.
One solution to this issue, of course, is to employ more staff, which can be a significant financial commitment. However, there are other, more manageable, ways to outsource work.
Recognising the areas where you need help is the first step.
There will be some tasks that you won’t feel comfortable delegating, but others, perhaps which aren’t your area of expertise, could benefit immensely with some outside support.
Instead of hiring a new member of staff, you can contract external companies or freelancers to work on specific one-off projects or on a regular basis.
Evaluate your strengths and weaknesses
As individuals, we all have strengths and weaknesses, and the same goes for our employees.
Recognising where your start-up business needs a little help allows you to contract the best companies or freelancers for your specific situation.
If you are planning on expanding into the global marketplace, however, there are a few areas we would urge small businesses to focus on.
Three of these that we recommend you focus on are finding a reliable shipping company, a high-quality marketing agency, and, of course, a professional translation service.
Three easy, viable steps
Let’s take a closer look at how you can use these outsourced resources to help your venture flourish. Following this basic strategy can lead to some outstanding results for any start-up business that’s ready to break into the global marketplace and experience major growth.
Expand your network through translation
As your business expands into international markets, it’s inevitable that some translation and/or localisation of your content will be needed. As well as correspondence between you and any overseas clients, you will need to consider translating marketing material, websites and social media, and, potentially, legal or shipping documents.
This work should be done by professional translators who are specialists in the relevant field, as well as experts in the language and culture of the corresponding countries.
Poor translations can lead to serious errors such as giving a bad image of your company or even causing legal issues. Find a translation agency you can trust, build up a solid relationship with them, and you won’t regret it.
Reach new clients through strong marketing
Investing in marketing support can really make a difference when it comes to finding new clients. We encourage you to think digitally when it comes to marketing.
Consider using affiliate marketing and teaming up with bloggers and influencers whose brands align with your company’s ethos or target customer. This can be a relatively economical way of reaching large audiences through powerful platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and Pinterest.
Get the product to the customer effectively
For a long time, it was only big brands and large corporations that could afford to ship their products overseas at a reasonable price for the customer, but these days that’s all changed.
By outsourcing your logistics and shipping needs, you can send your products to even the remotest countries around the world with minimum hassle.
Outsourcing your shipping and fulfilment also allows you to avoid many of the complications associated with international customs. For UK-based services, check out Parcel Monkey and Parcelhub.
Get started with your start-up business
If you are preparing to launch your first start-up or expanding an existing business into new global markets, you are now armed with some valuable insights into how to reach your fullest potential without burning out. What are you waiting for? Start-up success awaits!
